{"product_id":"schubert-8-635212083826","title":"Schubert 8","description":"\"In a word I feel myself the most unhappy and wretched creature in the world. Imagine a man whose health will never be right again, and who in sheer despair over this ever makes things worse and worse instead of better... but I have tried my hand at several instrumental things... in fact, I intend to pave the way towards a grand symphony in this manner.\" These extracts from a letter of 1824 epitomize the paradox of Schubert, the manic-depressive composer. On the one hand his music has that world-weary element of profound grief - 'the most wretched creature in the world' - and on the other a life-affirming exuberance bordering on the manic that characterizes the Wanderer-Fantasie and parts of the D major sonata D.850. In this final volume Llyr Williams plays a selection of Franz Liszt's evocative Schubert song transcriptions, including works from Die schöne Müllerin, Wintereise and Schwanengesang.","brand":"Signum Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46362326007891,"sku":"2300455X","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3826288_359a158c-0ec6-44a7-b54a-141296e276be.jpg?v=1790218295","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/schubert-8-635212083826","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
